Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken in 2 batches until golden brown, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a 9" X 13" baking dish or another large, shallow casserole. Add the onions to the skillet and cook in the rendered chicken fat until brown, stirring, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, fennel, rosemary branch, salami, olives, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Pour in the wine and simmer to reduce, scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 5 minutes, until caramelized. Add flour and cook, stirring to incorporate, for another 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth in batches and stir to incorporate. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the bay leaves and lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish and roast in the oven, basting every 30 minutes, until the chicken is very tender and the sauce is reduced but isn't drying out, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Discard the bay leaves and rosemary. Serve chicken warm, with plenty of sauce. RECIPE FROM: https://food52.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
